Btrfs does COW, so when we unlink the file we need to update metadata and write it to a new location, which we can't do because the thinp is full. This results in an EIO during a metadata write, which makes us flip read only, thus making it impossible to fstrim the fs. Just make it so we skip this test for btrfs.
